For ages now, my only source of "date-able" men has been the Internet. Even my Homecoming King reconnected with me on the World Wide Web. Now I feel like a fish out of water. While I am waiting for the Homecoming King to decide if he is coming to visit me or not, I find myself confronted with human contact and am not really sure how to behave.
This Real Live Man is the Crush I told you about last February. All of a sudden, he seems to be making his move. This handsome, age-appropriate man is flirting and I am flirting back. It’s never more than a smile or a glance or a quick hello. Even so, I am thoroughly enjoying the experience in spite of his unclear marital status. I have continued to try and find out if he is married, but with no success. I am flirting back and telling all of my friends about this handsome, smart and definitely straight man that I can’t seem to stop thinking about.
My Crush and I have been running into each other for the last 10 years. He has seen me at my best and at my worst. Over the course of time I have heard him talk about his girlfriends and most recently his wife. I am more than disappointed. I try to put thoughts of him aside in spite of the continued flirtation. Flirting is harmless enough and the male attention is certainly happy making, so I am content seeing him around the neighborhood on occasion and try not to give him too much thought.
The other afternoon I was in his place of business when he flashed a smile at me from behind the counter. He told me how great I looked with my summer tan and wondered why he hadn’t seen much of me lately. Then he looked at me and asked if I was still selling real estate and if I knew where a single man could get a great apartment.
Single.
He said single.
I was completely flustered.
I’m not sure if I had a hot flash or if I blushed as I knocked over a display. The next thing I knew he was standing next to me offering to help me pick up the mess I’d made. I tried to keep it business like and talked about shopping for real estate, but it was clear there was chemistry between us.
He asked for my card and I happily obliged.
He said he’d call me.
I’ve decided to wait at least a week before I put myself in a position to see him again and flash my pearly whites in his general direction.
I am counting the minutes.
Can it be that I am actually going to date someone who has not materialized out of cyberspace?
